Have you had a suprising adventure?
Recently my daughter and I went to Port Douglas for a 4 day break. We planed and paid for every little thing before we went. Snorkeling on the great barrier reef, helicopter ride over the same area. A day in the Daintree rainforest including skyrail in and train ride out. All the restaurants we were going to. Everything, just about. We were left with one afternoon that we hadn't planned and we had passed a sign earlier in the day for a safari zoo and thought we may as well drop in there. We arrived and there were no cars in the parking lot. Turns out no one really knows about this amazing place. We had the entire zoo all to ourselves. The staff were amazing they took us from one enclosure to another we got hands on experiences with a lot of the animals and very close encounters with the rest. From bears to lions, monkeys, hippos, rhinos to ostriches. All the animals were fat and happy and loved their keepers. It was the most incredible experience of my life and such an unexpected treat.
Has anyone else had an experience like this?

Some of my more surprising experiences:
In Cappadocia, Turkey, went to a club in one of the caves where the entertainment included a Turkish version of a Nirvana Cover Band Playing, then a male gay belly dancer who was one of the most amazing dancers I have ever seen.
A ship from Crete to Rhodes seemed to go the long way around and pass through all these little Greek islands which looked absolutely amazing to drop off supplies....later when I tried to find out where these islands were, I couldn't find them on a map. My Greek relatives didn't know of them either.
